Gus Hiddink reveals extent of John Terry’s injury agony

Chelsea captain John Terry was near “unapproachable” during his injury-enforced absence and has the same unquenchable desire as ever, according to Guus Hiddink.

Terry has missed 10 of the last 12 matches with a hamstring and then an Achilles problem, but is poised to return in tonight’s Premier League clash with Tottenham — a clash the visitors must win to keep their hopes of taking Chelsea’s title alive.

The 35-year-old defender could be in his final days as a Chelsea player, as incoming head coach Antonio Conte is still to determine whether or not the skipper will receive a one-year contract extension, with his current deal to expire this summer.
